My mom has had this plant my whole life. His name is Moses ☺️. Any tips for propagating this? My mom thought it was a wild monstera but I’m thinking it’s a split leaf philodendron.

Try a moss pole to support the split leaf philodendron, like you would with a monstera deliciosa. The stem might break from the heavy load.

You’re right this is a split leaf philodendron and when it looks droopy it needs water and also the plant is the type that thrive in high humidity.

It sits next to a fireplace! It gets so dry in there during the winter. It’s been a part of my family for so long I want to make sure I can pass it down. I’m giving these tips to my mom so I can make sure it gets passed down to me! Haha thanks

They hate dry air and soil, especially in winter so try to keep the humidity up and soil moisture consistent.

this is a thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum - recently reclassified from the philo family.

these can be tricky — and i agree it needs to be watered.

because this plant is so large and old, i recommend looking into air layering. do some research before making any moves, but that would be the route id choose if this were my plant 😎🤞🏻

You might try fertilizer, to encourage some pup growth, then you can just divide it.

How cool that your mom has had this plant your whole life!! What a beautiful thing for you both to share 💛
